Anglo-Scottish Border Day 5 – Beal to Berwick-upon-Tweed

Anglo-Scottish Border Day 5 – Beal to Berwick-upon-Tweed

We had finished Anglo-Scottish Border Day 4 at Beal. Anglo-Scottish Day 5 would be our final day of cycling. Our aim was to pop over to Holy Island before cycling up the Northumberland coast and finishing at Berwick-upon-Tweed. We left Lindisfarne Inn at Beal on a fine cloudy morning. We began by cycling down to the causeway which would take us over to Holy Island. The road to Lindisfarne is roughly five miles long and we were fortunate today that…

St Cuthbert’s Way Walk Day 7 would see us walking from Beal to Lindisfarne – a distance of about 3.5 miles.

St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 7 – Lindisfarne to Berwick-upon-Tweed

Having reached Lindisfarne on St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 6, Andy and I still had more cycling to do. St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 7 we had to cycle from Lindisfarne to Berwick-upon-Tweed in order to catch a train home. As it had been for most of the week, it was another gloriously sunny day, even if it was a bit windy. For a final time, we crossed the causeway. Then picked up the coastal path and NCN route 1….

St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 6 – Beal to Lindisfarne

Our St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 5 may have brought us to Beal and the coast. Our St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 6 would see us cycle on to Holy Island as we cycled from Beal to Lindisfarne. That journey however is only a few miles. So, once again we plotted a circuitous route. Andy and I began by leaving the walkers at The Lindisfarne Inn as they set off on the last leg of their journey and walked on…
